Walking distance to Aubeterre - Gorgeous Country Manor for families, heated pool

We had an amazing stay at La Sauzade, the property is stunning with plenty of charming features in keeping with a grand French manor. We found the rooms comfortable and spacious and there was a good mix of double and family rooms to suit our party. We enjoyed the pool, table tennis and the kids really made the most of the extensive property grounds. Aubeterre is only 15 mins walk away and was great fun to explore.

We spent a wonderful week at La Sauzade. A really lovely house in a beautiful spot, within easy reach of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (we walked in). The house had everything we needed (and more) and was ideal for our group (extended family with a mix of adults, teenagers and small children). The pool was really great and we spent much of our time there. Pamela and Michael were great hosts, too. Aubeterre was lovely to visit and, had the pool not been so good, I’m sure we would have spent more time there!

The ample space and well stoced kitchen was at the heart of a successful family break

A great venue for a stay with family and friends, beautiful pool, short walk, if you are reasonably fit as its uphill to restaurants plenty of space and well equipped with everything you need!

We were a family of 10 adults and five children under 6, and had waited two years to come here, but it was definitely worth the wait. Tracy, the house manager, who greeted us at the property, was extremely helpful, and any minor queries or requests were dealt with efficiently and effectively. This handsome Maison Ancienne, full of French character with its thick stone walls and large high ceilinged rooms, afforded us a lovely cool interior on very hot days, which was extremely welcome. When inside, we virtually lived in the kitchen and the sitting room next to the kitchen, as that was our usual holiday modus operandi, and although there were two other drawing rooms we could have called upon, it worked perfectly. Loads of utensils, cooking equipment, and oven/fridge/storage space enabled all our various culinary skills to come to the fore, without us having to compromise. We loved the comfy beds and the linen sheets, and the multiple bathroom facilities ensured everybody was catered for. The BBQ worked fine, although we felt a bit more could have been made of the dining out area. Needless to say, the pool was a huge hit with everyone; a perfect temperature, and as the two elder children actually learned to swim whilst there, it is guaranteed that La Sauvade and the delightful village of Aubeterre su Dronne, will stay in our memories for a long time to come. Thank you.

Past reviews have been very accurate in their wording and really I have nothing further to add to the many comments praising the property ; having enjoyed a great family holiday there, it is just a pity that with being no longer available, the likelihood of us being able to return is remote.

We hired the house for a three generation family holiday with ages ranged from 11-80. The house and the area had something for everyone. Justin was incredibly responsive before we went hand Tracy was amazingly helpful , helping us sort the 80th birthday cake , lifts from Bordeaux airport and local recommendations. The house was cool in the extreme heat we had …. The pool was adored by all. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped, the local wildlife plentiful ( my favourite was the woodpecker outside the balcony / veranda ) the local village is stunning. Great value for money for our family - highly recommend this house ( not sure if ideal for very young children but otherwise perfect !)

Beaucoup d’espace tant à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur , la distribution des pièces est parfaite , la cuisine est très bien équipée avec du matériel de qualité. La piscine chauffée est un vrai plus A noter une voiture est indispensable même pour aller chercher le pain , il est impossible de rejoindre le village à pied en toute sécurité . Beaucoup d’activités tant sportives que culturelles dans les environs . Des plus jeunes aux plus âgés tout le monde gardera un très bon souvenir de son séjour à la Sauzade
